2. Kisir

Kisir is basically a Turkish dish made up of bulgur wheat, buttery chickpeas, assorted vegetables and fresh herbs. An ideal dish to make in bulk and serve as a side dish, or deadly lunch – Kisir is essentially a more filling tabbouleh.

In addition to being delicious, it’s super healthy, high in both fibre and protein, rich in vitamins and minerals and low in fat and calories. What more could you want?

4. Labneh

In Lebanon and Syria, Labneh is made by straining the liquid out of natural yoghurt, until it takes on a consistency similar to soft cheese. It has a tart, sour cream-esque taste, or heavy strained yogurt and is used as a common breakfast dip.

It’s delicious, so easily made and perfect eaten with olive oil, pita bread, and za’atar.

5. Baklava

Made with phyllo dough, nuts, and a simple syrup, this make-ahead dessert is light, moreish and perfect for entertaining. Tailor which nuts you use to whatever your guests prefer, and the meal will feel all the more tasty.

This particular recipe is crispy, nutty and extra syrupy – meaning that there’s something for everyone.

7. Stuffed artichokes with meat and pine nuts

8. Kofta

The well-known and well-loved Turkish kofta are finely ground meat balls. Made with either beef or the traditional lamb, kofta is a more tender alternative to burgers and are wholly and utterly flavoursome.

9. Fasolia

Fasolia is a green bean and beef stew that is full of flavours, richness and will fill you up for the whole evening. Served with rice and Syrian salad on the side, this is an easy and healthy dish for your busier days.

Add a touch of chilli when you’re done, just to give it that extra little kick.
